Revised Version 1895
2 Kings 21:2-9
2And he didH6213 that whichH834 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, after the abominationsH8441 of the heathen, whomH834 the LORDH3068 castH3423 outH3423 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
3For he builtH1129 againH7725 the highH1116 placesH1116 whichH834 HezekiahH2396 his fatherH1 had destroyedH6; and he reared upH6965 altarsH4196 for BaalH1168, and madeH6213 an AsherahH842, as didH6213 AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, and worshipped allH3605 the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, and servedH5647 them.
4And he builtH1129 altarsH4196 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, whereof the LORDH3068 saidH559, In JerusalemH3389 will I putH7760 my nameH8034.
5And he builtH1129 altarsH4196 for allH3605 the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 in the twoH8147 courts of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
6And he madeH6213 his sonH1121 to passH5674 throughH5674 the fireH784, and practised augury, and usedH6213 enchantmentsH5172, and dealt with them that had familiar spirits, and with wizards: he wrought muchH7235 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, to provokeH3707 him to angerH3707.
7And he setH7760 the gravenH6459 imageH6459 of AsherahH842, that he had madeH6213, in the houseH1004 of whichH834 the LORDH3068 saidH559 to DavidH1732 and to SolomonH8010 his sonH1121, In this houseH1004, and in JerusalemH3389, whichH834 I have chosenH977 outH413 of allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, will I putH7760 my nameH8034 for everH5769:
8neitherH3808 will I causeH5414 the feetH7272 of IsraelH3478 to wanderH5110 anyH3605 moreH4480 outH4480 of the landH127 whichH834 I gaveH5414 their fathersH1; ifH518 onlyH7535 they will observeH8104 to doH6213 accordingH4480 to allH3605 that I have commandedH6680 them, and accordingH4480 to allH3605 the lawH8451 that my servantH5650 MosesH4872 commandedH6680 them.
9But they hearkened notH3808: and ManassehH4519 seducedH8582 them to doH6213 that whichH834 is evilH7451 moreH4480 thanH4480 didH6213 the nationsH1471, whomH834 the LORDH3068 destroyedH8045 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
